# encoding

Helper module for dealing with external data structures.

- [`base32`](#base32)
- [`binary`](#binary)
- [`csv`](#csv)
- [`toml`](#toml)
- [`yaml`](#yaml)

## Binary

Implements equivalent methods to Go's `encoding/binary` package.

Available Functions:

```typescript
sizeof(dataType: RawTypes): number
getNBytes(r: Deno.Reader, n: number): Promise<Uint8Array>
varnum(b: Uint8Array, o: VarnumOptions = {}): number | Deno.EOF
varbig(b: Uint8Array, o: VarbigOptions = {}): bigint | Deno.EOF
putVarnum(b: Uint8Array, x: number, o: VarnumOptions = {}): number
putVarbig(b: Uint8Array, x: bigint, o: VarbigOptions = {}): number
readVarnum(r: Deno.Reader, o: VarnumOptions = {}): Promise<number>
readVarbig(r: Deno.Reader, o: VarbigOptions = {}): Promise<bigint>
writeVarnum(w: Deno.Writer, x: number, o: VarnumOptions = {}): Promise<number>
writeVarbig(w: Deno.Writer, x: bigint, o: VarbigOptions = {}): Promise<number>
```

## CSV

- **`parseCsv(input: string | BufReader, opt: ParseCsvOptions): Promise<unknown[]>`**:
  Read the string/buffer into an

### Usage

```ts
const string = "a,b,c\nd,e,f";

console.log(
  await parseCsv(string, {
    header: false
  })
);
// output:
// [["a", "b", "c"], ["d", "e", "f"]]
```

## TOML

This module parse TOML files. It follows as much as possible the
[TOML specs](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml). Be sure to read the supported
types as not every specs is supported at the moment and the handling in
TypeScript side is a bit different.

:exclamation: _Supported with warnings see [Warning](#Warning)._

#### :warning: Warning

##### String

- Regex : Due to the spec, there is no flag to detect regex properly in a TOML
  declaration. So the regex is stored as string.

##### Integer

For **Binary** / **Octal** / **Hexadecimal** numbers, they are stored as string
to be not interpreted as Decimal.

##### Local Time

Because local time does not exist in JavaScript, the local time is stored as a
string.

##### Inline Table

Inline tables are supported. See below:

```toml
animal = { type = { name = "pug" } }
## Output
animal = { type.name = "pug" }
## Output { animal : { type : { name : "pug" } }
animal.as.leaders = "tosin"
## Output { animal: { as: { leaders: "tosin" } } }
"tosin.abasi" = "guitarist"
## Output
"tosin.abasi" : "guitarist"
```

##### Array of Tables

At the moment only simple declarations like below are supported:

```toml
[[bin]]
name = "deno"
path = "cli/main.rs"

[[bin]]
name = "deno_core"
path = "src/foo.rs"

[[nib]]
name = "node"
path = "not_found"
```

will output:

```json
{
  "bin": [
    { "name": "deno", "path": "cli/main.rs" },
    { "name": "deno_core", "path": "src/foo.rs" }
  ],
  "nib": [{ "name": "node", "path": "not_found" }]
}
```

### Usage

#### Parse

```ts
import { parse } from "./parser.ts";
import { readFileStrSync } from "../fs/read_file_str.ts";

const tomlObject = parse(readFileStrSync("file.toml"));

const tomlString = 'foo.bar = "Deno"';
const tomlObject22 = parse(tomlString);
```

#### Stringify

```ts
import { stringify } from "./parser.ts";
const obj = {
  bin: [
    { name: "deno", path: "cli/main.rs" },
    { name: "deno_core", path: "src/foo.rs" }
  ],
  nib: [{ name: "node", path: "not_found" }]
};
const tomlString = stringify(obj);
```

## YAML

YAML parser / dumper for Deno

Heavily inspired from [js-yaml]

### Basic usage

`parse` parses the yaml string, and `stringify` dumps the given object to YAML
string.

```ts
import { parse, stringify } from "https://deno.land/std/encoding/yaml.ts";

const data = parse(`
foo: bar
baz:
  - qux
  - quux
`);
console.log(data);
// => { foo: "bar", baz: [ "qux", "quux" ] }

const yaml = stringify({ foo: "bar", baz: ["qux", "quux"] });
console.log(yaml);
// =>
// foo: bar
// baz:
//   - qux
//   - quux
```

If your YAML contains multiple documents in it, you can use `parseAll` for
handling it.

```ts
import { parseAll } from "https://deno.land/std/encoding/yaml.ts";

const data = parseAll(`
---
id: 1
name: Alice
---
id: 2
name: Bob
---
id: 3
name: Eve
`);
console.log(data);
// => [ { id: 1, name: "Alice" }, { id: 2, name: "Bob" }, { id: 3, name: "Eve" } ]
```

### API

#### `parse(str: string, opts?: ParserOption): unknown`

Parses the YAML string with a single document.

#### `parseAll(str: string, iterator?: Function, opts?: ParserOption): unknown`

Parses the YAML string with multiple documents. If the iterator is given, it's
applied to every document instead of returning the array of parsed objects.

#### `stringify(obj: object, opts?: DumpOption): string`

Serializes `object` as a YAML document.

### :warning: Limitations

- `binary` type is currently not stable
- `function`, `regexp`, and `undefined` type are currently not supported

## base32

[RFC4648 base32](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648#section-6) encoder/decoder
for Deno

### Basic usage

`encode` encodes a `Uint8Array` to RFC4648 base32 representation, and `decode`
decodes the given RFC4648 base32 representation to a `Uint8Array`.

```ts
import { encode, decode } from "https://deno.land/std/encoding/base32.ts";

const b32Repr = "RC2E6GA=";

const binaryData = decode(b32Repr);
console.log(binaryData);
// => Uint8Array [ 136, 180, 79, 24 ]

console.log(encode(binaryData));
// => RC2E6GA=
```
